Lyrics
Verse I
My whole life had passed me by
There was never one for me.
About the time I gave it up
I saw her smilin'
And just like that it hit me
Like an anvil from the sky
Initial infatuation phase
I ended up staying up all night
And I could tell from the look of her that she like me best
Even though she's only with me when I lay down cash
Chorus
I fell in love with a stripper (Whoa)
And I can't get her outta my mind
I fell in love with a stripper (Whoa)
And it's takin' up all of my time
I fell in love with a stripper (Whoa)
Oh, my brother can you spare me a dime?
I fell in love with a stripper (Whoa)
And I cannot get her outta my mind!
Verse II
Now every time she sees me
I can see it right in her eyes
Clear to me you can see she wants me
More than any of the other guys
Now why else would she tell me
I'm the favorite of all of her fans
Friends say she just wants the money
But I know her better than that
And I could tell from the look of her that she like me best
Even though she's only with me when I lay down cash
Chorus
Bridge
And I need to see her again -
But her shift doesn't start until ten!
Verse III
Our relationship has taken it toll
I can barely afford to eat
And sometimes I wish she could see it my way
Then I could pick the place we meet
Now I'll admit I get a bit jealous
Her pretending she likes other guys
If these guys don't keep their damn hands off my girl
I'll beat their asses to the ground
And I could tell from the look of her that she like me best
Even though she's only with me when I lay down cash
Chorus
